[ Note that the above is severely edited. ] If there are still free mailbox services which do not adulterate mail like this, I would say to refuse posting authority to all adulterating services. Unfortunately, I do not know of any free services which do not adulterate mail... the best I've seen is only two lines of self- promotion. My second choice would again be to refuse posting authority; those who would wish to use such a service for posting probably have the means to pay for a non-adulterating service; this generally costs about US$20/month. This doesn't seem like a huge investment to me. Attempting to filter out the adverts is an unstable solution, as you point out; it would be my third choice. - Alex </PRE> <!--X-Body-of-Message-End--> <!--X-MsgBody-End--> <!--X-Follow-Ups--> <HR> <!--X-Follow-Ups-End--> <!--X-References--> <UL><LI><STRONG>References</STRONG>: <UL> <LI><STRONG><A NAME="00561" HREF="msg00561.html">[MUD-Dev] ADMIN: Advertising on MUD-Dev</A></STRONG> <UL><LI><EM>From:</EM> J C Lawrence <claw#kanga,nu></LI></UL></LI> </UL></LI></UL> <!--X-References-End--> <!--X-BotPNI--> <UL> <LI>Prev by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00562.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: ADMIN: Advertising on MUD-Dev</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by Date: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00564.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: ADMIN: Advertising on MUD-Dev</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Prev by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00561.html">[MUD-Dev] ADMIN: Advertising on MUD-Dev</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Next by thread: <STRONG><A HREF="msg00566.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: ADMIN: Advertising on MUD-Dev</A></STRONG> </LI> <LI>Index(es): <UL> <LI><A HREF="index.html#00563"><STRONG>Date</STRONG></A></LI> <LI><A HREF="thread.html#00563"><STRONG>Thread</STRONG></A></LI> </UL> </LI> </UL> <!--X-BotPNI-End--> <!--X-User-Footer--> <!--X-User-Footer-End--> <ul><li>Thread context: <BLOCKQUOTE><UL> <LI><STRONG>[MUD-Dev] Re: ADMIN: Advertising on MUD-Dev</STRONG>, <EM>(continued)</EM> <ul compact> <ul compact> <ul compact> <LI><strong><A NAME="00625" HREF="msg00625.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: ADMIN: Advertising on MUD-Dev</A></strong>, s001gmu <a href="mailto:s001gmu#nova,wright.edu">s001gmu#nova,wright.edu</a>, Mon 10 Aug 1998, 13:55 GMT </LI> </ul> </ul> <LI><strong><A NAME="00619" HREF="msg00619.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: ADMIN: Advertising on MUD-Dev</A></strong>, quzah <a href="mailto:quzah#geocities,com">quzah#geocities,com</a>, Mon 10 Aug 1998, 09:02 GMT </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00757" HREF="msg00757.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: ADMIN: Advertising on MUD-Dev</A></strong>, John Bertoglio <a href="mailto:alexb#internetcds,com">alexb#internetcds,com</a>, Tue 18 Aug 1998, 00:48 GMT </LI> </ul> </LI> <LI><strong><A NAME="00561" HREF="msg00561.html">[MUD-Dev] ADMIN: Advertising on MUD-Dev</A></strong>, J C Lawrence <a href="mailto:claw#kanga,nu">claw#kanga,nu</a>, Sat 08 Aug 1998, 17:38 GMT <UL> <LI><strong><A NAME="00563" HREF="msg00563.html">[MUD-Dev] Re: ADMIN: Advertising on MUD-Dev</A></strong>, T.
